"MUD!" Is the first Mud Wrestling musical ever produced in New York City. This diverse cast of dancers, burlesque stars, singers and physical theater performers comes together to play out the story of a conflicted nun, who in her struggle to rescue her dilapidated church, finds herself entrenched in the seedy underbelly of mud wrestling, sex and a radical exploration of real faith. The production is directed by Scott Lyons whose work has been produced around the country, most recently presented Dizney Titillations with sold out runs at Symphony Space, The Tank, and Dance New Amsterdam. "MUD!" premiers at 100 Grand Street Theater (located at 100 Grand St , 2nd Floor in Soho) with performances April 29th and 30th at 8:00pm and 10:00 pm on both nights. Tickets are $18.00 in advance/$20 at the door and are available at www.MudTheMusical.com

"MUD!" is a coming of age comedy of devotion, love, and getting a little dirty for what you believe in. Within the run-down walls of St. John's Church, in the midst of a tropical Midwest storm - a single prayer of a desperate nun is answered when Sister Mary Clarence is blessed with a stunning fundraising coach, Raina (who has an agenda all her own). In Sister Mary Clarence's desperation to save the infrastructure and restore her congregation she accepts Raina's unorthodox funding strategy - a good old fashioned mud wrestling competition. Mud will fly as chaos and joy unite...don't worry audience, mud guards will be provided!

The cast of "MUD!" Also features: Monica Hunken, Raina von Waldenburg, Justin Donham, Rebecca Lubart, Rebecca Patek, Sara Higgins, Emily Peck, Dragonfly, Alaine Handa, Lily Ockwell, Tiana Hemlock, & Amy Blumberg.
